Hey, where's the options for 8 Warriors or an Army for that matter?
I would really want 3 more warriors (2) for exploring and one more at home for emergencies like pillaging Barbs.

Shouldn't this poll be conducted by the Ministry of Interior?

I've been away recently (well, this weekend), so I fully expected some progress to be made in my absence (which is a good thing, because I do not want to be too critical...more of an advisor). So updates to the test scenario by jim_steer and consensus' on city placement by the general populace are fine with me.
And actually I'm also fine with Trip posting polls and proposals concerning matters related defense (city placement, and build queues). But there are two caveats:
1. I would like to work more closely with Trip on these matters. I know I'm not online as often as Trip, but working independently will get us nowhere.
2. I would also like everyone to understand that most of the polls posted here are unofficial. In my mind this is a little awkward, but seems to be the norm. Thus this poll, I feel, is more of a "get the feeling of what everyone thinks is best", rather than an actual vote on policy.
I plan to test everything out thoroughly myself (along with anyone's else help). I believe this to be the best starting point for any decisions concerning economic matters. As I said elsewhere, the Merc./Settler "pump" in Apolyton may just not be a good idea, no matter how much we want it to be. So, until further testing, let's take all these polls and such with a grain of salt.
One area that I believe requires an official poll is the location of our second city. We've had some good discussion on this already, and I'm still not sure what the team as a whole thinks is best. Thus, I will be posting a poll on this (with screenshots) very soon.

All this said, I'll weigh in on the real issue. I thought our relationship with the Persians was rather good for the time being. If this is true, I think we need 1 Warrior before our first Settler, no more. Part of the point of an early friendship is the option of expanding peacefully, which is absurdly powerful (sort of like playing on Chieftain and never having to worry about a thing - other than barbs - while you REX).

Yes, the decision of where to put the next city is intertwined with the question of where we plan to place most of our cities around the capital. This is why I'll be posting a minimap of the best spots (obtained from all the recent discussion), from which people can vote on their favorite one.

Thanks Dominae, I'm glad you're not giving me a hard time like others who want to turn this into more of a government than a game. 
I'll certainly await your city placement thread. I think "blocking" them is more or less not a concern at this point, since we are (at face value) on very good terms with them, and we both realize that there's very bad terrain in the area.
And yes, we'll also have to work together on the build queue. 
The problem I see with only 1 Warrior is that there's either a period where our city/settler are very vulnerable at exactly the time the barbs would be arriving, or it would slow our already bogged-down scouting efforts.
